The end of the tunnel

Flaws are the cracks that let the light in.

Give and take

Take the good, take the bad.

Give your life all you have got.

Present

I am all the places I have been,

And I belong to where I am going.

Relativity

Sometimes, bad things happen to protect us from worse.

Overload

No matter what you are cooking, do not burn the kitchen.

Company

The people who notice your absence are those whose presence you want in your life. 

My last first

My first day of school

A backpack full of jitters;

My mother’s eyes 

Say more

With that one last wave

At the door. 

To live

Is to tick boxes off the list.

The more, the merrier —

Then, the more sparse

Only a new beginning

Can bring. 

Do we grow bolder

Writing more chapters —

Now we take time

To reconsider. 

When was the last time

I trembled,

Showered in waterfalls

Of the unknown

The pinnacle —

I would rather miss what was

Than what could have been.
